Boys' Graduation

His Memory Book is awesome. Compiles all of his hard work throughout the year.

With his fantastic teacher.

Jack graduated on Tuesday, but the last day of school was on Wednesday.

All dressed up. He wore a tie on the first day of school and a vest on the last. The kid has style.

His class got to watch the graduation. All of the Kindergartners stood there, perfectly behaved, watching. It was pretty impressive.

Carter walked out with his class.

Here he is standing for recognition for being part of the "Green Team"......recycling and conserving for the school.

They sang, "I'm On My Way" by Phil Collins (from the movie, Brother Bear). I lost it. Such a sweet song.

The words:

Tell everybody i'm on my wayNew friends and new places to seeWith blue skies ahead, yes i'm on my wayAnd theres no where else i'd rather be

Tell everybody i'm on my wayAnd i'm loving every step i takeWith the sun beating down, yes i'm on my wayAnd i can't keep this smile off my faceCause theres nothing like, seeing each other againNo matter what the distance betweenAnd the stories we tell, will make you smileOr really lifts my heartSo tell'em i'm on my wayNew friends and new places to seeAnd to sleep under the stars and could ask for moreWith the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow nor the rain, can change my mindThe sun will come out, wait and seeAnd the feeling of the wind In your face can lift your heart

Tell everybody i'm on my wayI just can't wait to be thereWith blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my wayAnd nothing but good times to share

So tell everybody I'm on my wayAnd I just can't wait to be homeWith the sun beating down yes I'm on my wayAnd nothing but good times to show

I'm on my wayYes, I'm on my way

I bawled like a baby.

Such a great kid.

With his teacher.

With some friends. That's his girlfriend in the blue dress. :)

It was a happy day.

Still more ahead before we can relax.

Your family is so precious, Casey. Your pictures never fail to make me smile. :)Tell sweet Jack that Khaki (that is what my nephews and godchildren call me) will send him a King Cake again in 2013!!I realize that Carter has a girlfriend now, but please save him for Caroline. Think of what beautiful blonde grandchildren we would have. And I know you love the name. :)

I just want to eat Jack up! I love that kid! And the picture of the two of you is precious. Y'all look so much alike!!Can't believe you'll have a middle schooler next year. Sweet Carter - growing up so fast. (tear).
